National Geographic cartographers bring nearly a century of mapmaking experience and cutting-edge technology to bear on every atlas product. In this 21st century, techniques used in digital mapping have undergone remarkable changes. Today, satellite and digital imaging technology, GPS, and GIS technologies provide cartographers with state-of-the-art tools to map and animate the Earth and its myriad regions--from far above and up close--across all seven continents and the interconnected oceans. Leveraging these emerging technologies to build smart, functional, informative atlases with award-winning designs is one of the great strengths of National Geographic.
